How to pot my new 2.5 Feet unkown orchid

Oh, very funny, John. But, if you look closely at the middle of the stem, you will see what looks to be a new growth. ES may be right because Arachnis are noted for that pattern of growth.

That must be the missing half of a foot! What a heel I am to have missed it. In the future I'll try harder to toe the line. Yes, I see it. I'd still go with ES's advice.

Hi folks,

Thank you for your very valuable comments

so i went ahead with the ES's suggession and ended up like this (please see attachment)

You could probably plant it outside in the ground if you wanted to, planting just the bottom part of the stem in the soil, up to the first or second roots. You could put it into a pot the same way.
